| Hi, I have 20 Christmas Fulu ( Haplochromis Xystichromis ) available at just over half an inch. They grow to 2 inches in 2 months, which is breeding size. I have shipped them at this size all the way to the east coast with great success, and they are in Centralia, so it's a hop skip and a jump for anyone wanting to do local pickup, otherwise they can be shipped for about $7 at this size. They are extremely hardy Cichlids. The males develop beautiful blues around the chin and gills, purples on the face and head, greens on the front flank, reds towards the center body, with jet black pectoral fins, with bright red tails. They also display intense patterns when spawning, or when they are just trying to show off and get attention or food. These are from the same line as the famous photo of Dave Hansen, which is the pic everyone thinks of when they here Christmas Fulu. I recommend a group of at least 5 fish. 10 or more is optimal. Prices are as follows. 1 fish $20 5 or more $15 10 or more $12 all 20, $10 each. Wetspot in Portland sells these for $25 each on the rare occasions when they have them. The ideal temp for these Cichlids is in the mid 80's, but they can actually handle temps in the low 90's. Ideal PH is 7.2, but anything between the mid 6's and upper 7's will be fine. VERY HARDY FISH. They love rock structures they can chase each other through, and java fern also is enjoyed, though they may tear it up in time. I will try to post pics as soon as I can find them on my 750 GB hard drive  Several members here have purchased these from me in the past, so please feel free to ask around about my fish. Todd |
